Quick & Easy French Toast: How to Make French Toast FAST

This quick & easy French toast recipe makes for a sweet eggy breakfast. If you’re a fan of French toast but don’t have a huge amount of time to make it, then this recipe is for you.

You will find that French toast is called pain perdu in most French-speaking regions, this means lost bread. It is called this as you often use stale bread in the making of this dish. Soaking it in egg and frying it in butter is a way of bringing the bread back to the tasty and edible state.

Learning how to make French toast is surprisingly easy as the concept behind is dead simple. The process is typically finding a stale bread and soaking it in an egg mix. This egg mix usually varies from recipe to recipe, but the one I have written up here is my personal favorite. (It is also super easy to cook up).

Prep time:5 Minutes

Cook time:10 Minutes

Total time:15 Minutes

Serves:2

Ingredients:

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. cinnamon, ground

¼ cup of milk

4 slices of bread

Butter

Instructions:

In a bowl, beat the egg, vanilla, and cinnamon together.

Once beaten, stir in the milk.

Dip the bread in the egg mixture. If you slightly massage the bread, this will encourage it to absorb the egg faster.

In a pan over medium heat, melt some butter.

Add your bread slices and cook on for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Serve & Enjoy

Cooking Tips:

If you need to prepare a large batch of French toast, then I recommended starting them a pan before moving them into an oven a medium to low temperature. This way you can cook lots and keep them warm without overcooking them.

One thing to note, if you’re doing thick pieces of bread, then I would recommend starting, then in the frying pan and finish them off in the oven. To do this have an oven preheated to about 180°C (350°F) and once the bread is slightly golden brown on each side place into the oven and finish it off.

This French toast recipe is very much like the easy pancake recipe and goes fantastic with fresh berries and cream. Another great combination is bacon and maple syrup, but it depends what appeals to your more.

Nutritional Information:

I also want to point out that this information is only an estimate so it may not align 100% with your calculations.

Question: in the direction you say to “beat the egg, vanilla milk and cinnamon together” and it is immediately followed with “stir in the milk.” I’m not trying to pick, I’m actually confused. Was there a typo or did you mean something different?
